Hi,
I have a bugreport stating
mc segfaults when a shell command that was started inside mc fails,
e.g. because it is not found, it is interrupted, or it
crashes. This error only occurs since a few weeks on my system and
therefore might be related to kernel-2.4 or recent library updates

Hi,
there is a bug in the mc package, that most likely is related to
devfs. I can't reproduce it, nor does it seem to be common.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=57557&repeatmerged=yes
mc hangs occasionally on starup on the VC.
There is a patch on the buttom of the report.
